Spaghetti Tower

In Science class we had to build a tower 40 centimeters tall that could hold an egg and withstand an earthquake. We had to use spaghetti sticks, marshmellows, and masking tape. Each spaghetti stick was 100 dollars, each marshmellow was 50 and each inch of tape was 25 dollars. We had a total of 4,875 dollars to spend. If we wanted to buy insurance that would be 500 dollars so by the time we bought all of our supplies and insurance we had no money left. Our tower has not collapsed so far and it can hold up an egg at 40 centimeters tall. We don’t know yet how it will do in an earthquake.  Some of the things that we learned would be good to have on our tower are that it is important to have crossbars because it helps keep the tower stable and it is also important to have a place that the egg will be secure and won’t make the tower top heavy.  So far our project has gone really well and I hope that it will withstand the earthquake.

Who is the Holy Spirit and what does he do in my life?

Who is the Holy Spirit and what does he do in my life?

I think that the Holy Spirit is someone who helps us make the right choices and keeps us close to God. The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity. The Trinity God the father son and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Sprit has many names, some of them are counselor, comforter, guide and revealer of the truth. My favorite of the five is counselor. I like this because it helps me to know that there is always somebody ready to help and listen to me. The Holy Spirit teaches us a lot of things. He teaches us to serve, teach, encourage, give, show mercy, share our faith, and so much more. The Holy Spirit will never leave us. If we believe in Jesus the Holy Spirit lives inside of us forever. We can’t run away from it because it is always with us wherever we go. The Holy Spirit is always there to talk to you and to share your problems and triumphs. He is always there to keep us thinking about God. The Holy Spirit never changes and will always be there. He will never leave or forsake us.

I life I like to think of the Holy Spirit as a counselor. I like this term because if you look it up it says a person trained to give guidance. I like that because no matter when or where I am, if I call on the Holy Spirit, I will be helped and given somebody to talk to. I also can connect to the guidance because a few days ago I was downtown with my family for a parade. When the parade ended we were walking back to our car. I thought that it would be a shortcut to slip through a store but when I told my dad that he told me that would actually take longer. Just like I would’ve made the wrong choice if my dad hadn’t helped me, the Holy Spirit helps to guide me down the right path. For those who love and follow Jesus with the help of the Holy Spirit.
